Gasification of Juliflora chips was carried out in a 0.156 m
inner diameter and 5 m height circulating fluidized bed
gasifier with sand of 250 μm diameter as the bed material
and air as the fluidizing medium. The influence of
equivalence ratio and gasification temperature on gas
composition, gas yield, lower heating value and gasification
efficiency was investigated. The gasification temperature
and equivalence ratio were maintained in the range of 700 to
900ºC and 0.2 to 0.3 respectively. Equivalence ratio and
temperature strongly influenced the gas composition. With
an increase in equivalence ratio, the temperature and gas
yield were increased decreasing the gas heating value. It was
also observed that the increase of temperature also increases
the gas heating value, gas yield and gasification efficiency.
Comparison of present experimental data with findings of
other studies of different biomass fuels is also discussed in
this paper.
